Radiotherapy

Next challenge will be getting there for it, some scumbag rear ended my car in the early hours of this morning and because it was an old car, it's being written off. Grrrr

Sort one problem...

  • Thanks ladies- the encouragement is greatly appreciated. I know the tiredness is there but my thinking was if I keep moving I won't be so tired. Went for a walk everyday if I could. Listen to your body - sthg I didn't do! Sandra you'll be fine before you know it and thankfully before xmas! Mmm live home baked cakes/biscuits. Rileyroo - nails are a must! I've been having mine done for last couple of months but that's bcuz radiation made nails weak with ridges and splitting. Lovely sunny day today so am out for short walk. Vit D is good and the ducks will need feeding! Well done again Rileyroo!
  • Hate autocorrect! I meant you'll be done before you know it and I love home baked!

  • Noticed they were splitting, thank you! Was begiining to think it was the start of another problem!

  • My fingers are no longer listening to my brain, can't say I blame them really some of the rubbish it's coming up with at the moment. 

  • Not t worry about auto correct I’m getting really good at reading between the lines cos do it so much myself lol .

    pain on the nails front like I have really soft nails so they are always short- they have nowhere t snap off to - achh I’ll add it to the list if things t expect!

    kick back Rileyroo that’s u done yeayyyy. Eee I bet u r soooo pleased. 

    Can u believe how far u have both come - u r both amazing! 

    Take care me dears

  • Yes, yes yes and Yes!!!!

     

    And breathe!!!

  • My only words of wisdom are Rileyroo - dont expect too much in the sense of being the same as you were before treatment both physically and mentally. Go with the flow as you can feel great one minute and hoŕrid the next. Its getting colder as well so be wary of colds. I got extremely iĺl a couple of days after treatment. Just thinking about it makes me shudder. Then again 6 weeks of being cooked most likely did it! But like I said - onwards and upwards. Keep talking and we're there with you Sandra thru your treatment. God bless you both.x

  • I'm having the next couple of days off, if I feel as rough as I did this morning I'm heading for the docs to get a fit note.
  • Hi I hope you don't mind me messaging this link but it appears you ladies have all been through radiotherapy. I finished six weeks of chemo radiotherapy two weeks ago and seem to be getting more tired as the days pass did any of you find this happened too? I'm lucky not to be working at the moment so can snooze whenever however I thought I'd get less tired as the days passed? Thanks Sandra 

  • Hi SandsJ I felt worse for a month after treatment then was getting better. Last month and this month has been harder. They do sat everyone reacts differently at different times. I don't understand it but my consultants told me I have alot of damage from radiation and have to take it easy. Like you I don't work and snoozed when I needed but this is how it is - every day is different. Something new every week. But it does get better. Give yourself time.
